Be careful if you allow the guest user. Authen::SMB 0.91 doesn't make any
distinction
between logged-in-as-guest and correctly-logged-in.
I have a patch to add that behavior (already sent to the maintainer, but I
haven't
heard from him since).

I couldn't find it. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
